The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter

Happy Halloween to those that celebrate it! I hope you have fun taking the kids trick or treating and seeing all the great costumes!

For those of you that don't visit the forums regularly, you might want to know that I'm sponsoring a Halloween costume contest there. I've created a page with the details, but you have to join the forum and post a picture in the costume contest thread to enter. Then there's voting and the winner gets a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate. So come and join in the fun! Pictures must be submitted by November 5, 2006 to be eligible for the voting.
